The Rite of Ordination in the Pontificale Romanum is a sacred Rite and full of instruction to Catholics. This Rite is a solemn Rite that has been used for centuries in the Catholic Church prior to Vatican II. Many men today desire to be ordained in this sacred rite. This work has simple instruction in preparation for ordination, which is followed by the Latin Rite of Ordination as found in the Pontificale Romanum for Tonsure, the four minor orders, subdeacon, deacon and priest.
